It shall be the duty of the Village of Franklin or its designee to make diligent inquiry as to the dogs owned, harbored or kept within the Village, whether such dogs are licensed and whether such owner, possessor or harborer is in violation of any other provision of this chapter. Any dog found unlicensed may be seized and impounded by the Animal Control Officer. If the owner, possessor or harborer of such dog be known, the Village of Franklin or its designee may issue a notice of violation to appear at the office of the Village Clerk, or his or her agent, within seventy-two hours, not including Saturday, Sunday or holidays, to procure a license for such dog. Failure of such owner, possessor or harborer to appear and procure such license may result in the issuance of an ordinance violation by the Village of Franklin or its designee for a violation of Section 612.09.
